    The Anglo-American powers were evil.

    The Entente was evil.

    The Russian Empire was evil.

    The Tsar, who fought on the side of the Entente, was evil.

    The British empire, which was brutal, was evil.

    Same with France.

    It wasn’t just Germany we’re talking about here.

    The German Empire and Kaiser were horrible, but so were the other empires.

    I’m going by what was said at the time by Lenin and his supporters and like-minded people in the Second International, never mind the Third International after the events.

      Not to mention “gallant little Belgium,” which before WWI was basically an international pariah for its Nazi-level atrocities against the Congolese people. (Seriously, when other European colonizers think you’ve gone too far, there’s some next-level brutality involved).
